I think the government made the plague on purpose. Don't believe me? It's all in the numbers.

The British rep for humour has suffered from a decade of TV panel shows dominated by the same twenty-odd faces, imo.

I am completely uneducated on these matters, so this is a question - You're told to finish antibiotics as otherwise what you're left with is the strong ones that are now antibiotic resistant.

Are viruses so different to bacteria that this isn't an evolutionary driver that will come from having one vaccine dose (whether this is as the effects are all the virus dies or no virus dies, or they evolve too slowly), or will we end up making a bunch of small variants across our population?

As I understand it, the vaccine teaches the body to recognise the part of the virus that makes it so it transmissible, so any mutation that avoids the vaccine will likely not be as quick to spread.

The vaccine doses themselves doesn't fight the virus, they teach your body to fight it. Underdosing merely means you might "vaccinate" people and then they still get it, which isn't great from a number of perspectives.

Letting the virus run wild will generally increase the chances of viable mutations anyway though, which is pretty much what is happening already.

Nothing will put people off Boris quite like bringing back the hugely successful slogan that he won the last election off the back of.

I have a 65 inch TV and I do not need to be 6 feet away to see the difference between 1080p and 4k. And I am pretty sure I can tell the difference between 1080p and 720p at 12 feet.

As someone notes in the comments, the graph is based off a very pessimistic level for average human eye acuity, possibly derived from the marketing materials for Apple's Retina displays.

Wind and solar got a lot better in the last couple of decades and Britain is apparently not too poo poo at them, hence we keep breaking our record for days run without coal.

In darkest Somerset, there used to be a place where they'd tie pylons up and do all sorts of things to them...

Like, y'know, systematic full scale testing to identify complex modes of failure in an era before reliable computer analysis.

Saw one of these in Sarajevo, big spooky things they are.

yes, she loves dawn raids

also if they bring back capital punishment she will enjoy that, especially if they let her do the throttling herself

Does anyone have that tweet where the different ministers are saying what inspires them, and it's all saccarine nonsense except Patal who says 'dawn raids'?

Loving the incredible new tactical ploy this morning by the Foreign Secretary, we're going to force the individual EU nations to negotiate with us by pretending the EU doesn't really exist.

The EU, since the moment of Brexit, has screamed, shouted, whispered, written, and written with drones in the sky "you don't negotiate individually with us, you negotiate with the bloc through the Commission".

Now that the hardest part is over (i.e. keeping all the cats in line during the negotiations), why on earth do these people think that now it's time to divide and conquer?
